ROCKET BMX, Unique, cool, different.

ROCKET BMX, Unique, cool, different.

So I have had this Rocket frame for a while. So I teamed up with my buddy Justin at Porkchopbmx to do something cool, fun and unique. To build a bike with as many parts from his store as we can. So here is the build thread and I hope you like it... Rocket forks are in the mail, and Paul at RETrOBMX.COM is doing our custom TI railed seat..

I HAVE USED ALL THESE PRODUCTS IN THE PAST WITH NO ISSUES AND LOVE THEM, THE SERVICE AND JUSTIN FOR HELPING ME AND MY MIDWEST BMX PROGRAM.. HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THE BUILD, AND YES THIS WILL BE GIVEN AWAY LATER ON DURNING THE YEAR!!!!

PLEASE FIND US IN THE NON-BMX SECTION UNDER Charities, Donations etc... Yes there is one!

Personally Nick, I'd recommend picking a purple and sticking with it. It's just one of my pet peeves. I hate it when people have like 6 different shades of a color on a bike. I like the color of the rims and hubs, and I think the purple anno on a lime green frame will look good. You don't want to hear what I think of those Rocket frames.

Re: ROCKET BMX, Unique, cool, different.

I sure hope to see this one to the end without all the hate. Paul at Retro (StokeSeats) is awesome! I look forward to reading about / seeing the build. Great idea to showcase Porkchop parts!

Old School BMX bike collecting is a hobby and New School Retro BMX bike riding is a hobby. Respect the part of the hobby I enjoy and I'll promise to respect and even compliment the part of the hobby you enjoy. Disrespect what I like and I'll disrespect you...simple enough right?

People love them or hate them. This is one of the later ones I was told, by profile that didnt crack as easy. not a pro on them, but love the uniqueness..

They (the aluminum Rockets) were all made by Caloi in Brazil. Profile bought the second batch after Rocket refused the delivery based on the durability issues demonstrated by the first batch.
